Tim Francis is the Founder of Great Assistant.

Tim realized he’d never fulfill his potential in this lifetime if he was stuck in he email inbox all day.

So he tried getting an Assistant but failed. Not once or twice, but five times in a row. After his fifth failed Assistant Tim realized he was likely the problem.

One day, he was struck with by this question: “what would have to be true if I was legally bound to staying with my next Assistant for 3 years?” This dramatically raised the bar on who he hired, and how he led them.

Tim overhauled his entire method and tried once more. He struck gold. Within 2 weeks his new Assistant was already a huge difference. Within one year, his Assistant had taken over his email inbox, calendar, travel planning, social media posting, basic client care, plus a handful of personal tasks too.

Soon other Entrepreneurs wanted their own Assistant too. Tim launched GreatAssistant.com.

Since then, Tim and his team have helped over 800 Entrepreneurs get their own trusted, domestic, long-term Executive Assistant. He’s proud that his team have achieved the highest customer satisfaction rating in all of North America for specialty Executive Assistant placement firms.
